LEARN SURVEYING – TOTAL STATION EQUIPMENT



Total Station is a modern surveying equipment used by civil engineers and surveying engineers at field for various applications such as distance measurement, slope and angle measurements. All the measurement data is displayed and stored in this equipment.

This instrument replaces the old theodolotie which involved manual calculations and time consuming surveying. The on-board computer in this equipment can automatically use measured data to compute horizontal and vertical angles, distance etc. in real-time avoiding manual calculations.The data in total station can be exported to another computer for analysis, mapping of surveyed area with ease.

Unfortunately, Indian Universities still use old theodolite for surveying classes. So, this is the high time to learn and gain skills on recent trends in surveying. Civil Simplified has come up with a solution to provide practical training to civil engineers and surveying engineers during this winter. Following is a message from Civil Simplified team regarding their program. You can directly contact them for more information on the program.

How To Calculate or Estimate Long-span Aluminium Roofing Sheets.

Image
Aluminium roofing sheets, they come in rolls of average of 600mm to 1300mm depends on the manufacture and specifications. As stated in previous articles, the aluminium sheets comes in rolls at the factory just like toilet rolls but with different widths and thickness based on specifications. Calculating the roof required could be done by calculating the surface area in square meters of the area covered by the aluminium and for some companies it could be calculated in meter lengths ,knowing the width which is 600mm above as constant. For a simple gable roof as shown in pic 1 with length of 25.2m. First you must know the height of roof from the section. For this sample we are taken the eight to be 3meters (10 feet)to know the length of leaf “x” or “y” Remember the pythagoras theorem x2=32 +6.12 x=6.8m Hence the area of roof is (6.8 i.e x)+6.8 i.e y) multiply by length 25.2m=342.72m2 If the width of the roof comes in 600mm or 0.6m, the length of the roof

Post Tension Slab – Advantages and Disadvantages of Post Tension Slab

Image
Post Tension Slab Although concrete is a strong material for construction, it is not resistant to breakdown especially where longer concrete slabs are required like in a bridge or a length of a beam. For this, the concrete slab is tensioned with a process called pre-stressing and the slab of concrete which comes out after this process is known as post tension slab. This slab is much stronger as well as more durable than the normal concrete slabs. In today’s world, where the modern engineering is finding new ways to build longer, more efficient and stronger structures, post tension slab becomes one of their chief requirements. There are many advantages and disadvantages of post tensioned slabs which we will discuss in this post. Advantages of Post Tension Slab Post tension slabs are advantageous in many ways. Some of the major benefits of post tension slabs are as follows. 1. Reduced cost: Post tension slabs are excellent ways to construct stronger structures at an affordable

How to install POP (plaster of paris) ceilling

Image
Plaster of Paris is regarded as any type of plaster containing calcined gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate), sand and water. When these ingredients are combined, they result in the formation of a tough, dry product; however, plaster of Paris can be sanded to achieve a variety of looks. By following some basic guidelines, you can use plaster of Paris to mend cracks, fix dents,for ceiling, in walls and even to create artworks. However in this case our focus is on ceiling. POP popularly called plaster of Paris is used for a lot of purposes because it can easily be formed to any shape and it hardens quickly and is easy to operate. To do a pop ceiling in your home, getting it done is in two ways, you can buy the materials yourself which include pop cement , yarn(sponge-like material) etc then pay the installer based on per square meter of area of coverage, or you can give it out totally as a contract. But these are the basic steps in getting pop ceiling cast-on-site done. Get cemen
